The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

"What's your crime?" Xiao Qi asked, still calm and composed.

"The concubine was indeed not in the palace that night, and the concubine also went to visit her younger sister Zhaoxue, because she was worried about her and was afraid that she would suffer, so she wanted to go and see. Although the concubine had not been close to this sister since childhood, no matter what Yu Shui, my concubine is not such a cold-blooded and heartless person."

Listening to this woman's chatter, Xiao Qi couldn't help sneering out loud, and after a little frightening, all of them fell out, such a temperament is also difficult to achieve great things.

"Is this true?"

"The concubine has absolutely no lies. Your majesty, you must trust the concubine. It is true that the concubine is worried about my sister, but the concubine also knows that she has made a mistake. She should not have visited without permission. If your majesty wants to punish her, she will Punish it."

"Okay, then I will confine you for a month, and no one will be allowed to visit you during this month."

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty..." Shen Zhaoan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank Lord Long En, then Xiao Qi suddenly changed the subject and added another sentence, "However, if it is the abuse, you did it Yes, or it has something to do with you, the punishment is not as simple as confinement."

Shen Zhaoan's body froze, her heart was about to jump out of her throat, she fell down and sat on the ground with one hand covering her chest, but luckily, she escaped another catastrophe because she was out of danger.

As long as Shen Zhaoxue is not removed, it will be her worry all the time, especially since she told her the secret of her life experience at that time, what if she really comes back one day and seeks revenge on her?Shen Zhaoan panicked with fright, no, she must get rid of her, she must get rid of her, thinking that Shen Zhaoan rushed outside like crazy, but was stopped by someone, "Mother, Your Majesty has a decree, you have to do it within a month Do not go out."

"Xindong, Xindong, you go to find my mother, hurry up." Shen Zhao'an firmly grabbed Xindong's wrist, pinching her painfully.

Xindong curled her lips, "Niangniang, have you forgotten, slaves are just like you, they are not allowed to step out of this palace, let alone leave the palace."

"Back to the empress, Your Majesty left Jieyu, and I heard that she was fined for a month of confinement, and now she is going to the empress's place again." Mianchun reported.

Shen Zhaoping chuckled and joked, "It deserves it."

Originally, Su Changjin was about to come to sleep, but suddenly it was announced that His Majesty was coming, she hurriedly put on a coat and came out from the back room to greet her, bowed her head, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Qi hurried forward to help her up, "There is no need to be polite."

Su Changjin raised her head and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty... Didn't you go to Jieyu's?"

Xiao Qi nodded her nose, "Why, I'm jealous, I just went to do something."

"Is there something about the eldest princess?"

"Hey, you and I thought of something together." Xiao Qi sat down alone and poured wine for herself, she was not restrained at all, and she didn't have the slightest airs of the emperor, "A few days ago, didn't I notice that Jieyu was also investigating the emperor in private. For my sister's affairs, I sent people to watch her more."

Su Changjin nodded, sat down beside him, and poured himself a cup of tea, "But what does this have to do with Jieyu being punished and confined?"

"I suspect..." Xiao Qi frowned, "Shen Zhaoxue's jailbreak has a lot to do with Jieyu. Think about it, she was the one who broke this matter at the beginning, and now she tells me that she is worrying about my sister." Go visit, will you believe it?"

Su Changjin shook his head in disbelief.

Xiao Qi sneered, "She really took me for a fool, thinking that I didn't know anything, and she just wanted to hide it from me with a few words."

Su Changjin fell into deep thought and thought about it seriously, and then said a little excitedly, "Your Majesty means that the whereabouts of the eldest princess is related to Shen Zhaoxue's being robbed from prison."

"That's right." Xiao Qi replied without hesitation, and then asked a question, "What kind of psychology does a person tend to want to destroy a person?"

Su Changjin replied, "Those who threaten their own interests."

Xiao Qi nodded, "Then can we make an assumption first that Jieyu has been devoting herself to searching for the whereabouts of the imperial sister, but unexpectedly found that her identity is not the one she expected, so she wants to completely destroy her."

In this way, everything makes sense.

Su Changjin's eyes widened, "Your Majesty means that Shen Zhaoxue is... the eldest princess?"

"Shh..." Xiao Qi looked around, worried that the walls had ears, "I just made such an assumption, and it cannot be ruled out that Jieyu wanted to murder her sister for other reasons, so I am confining her at this stage. She can't do anything bad within a month, and we have enough time for a month to investigate this matter."

Su Changjin nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty is still considerate."

After another day, Shen Zhaoxue was like a paralyzed cripple, lying on the bed and being taken care of by a maid named Aqiu. She reminded her of Rachel, and she didn't know how this reckless girl was doing now. How is it? Did Xiao An help take care of her?

This morning, Ah Qiu left for almost an hour before returning. Generally speaking, she would not leave Shen Zhaoxue for so long. gone?"

Ah Qiu waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's just that the gang dealt with a disobedient person."

"A disobedient person was dealt with?" Shen Zhaoxue was puzzled.

It turned out that Aqiu said that every time the gang held a meeting, those who violated the gang rules would be executed in front of all the maids and servants, but what happened today, to Shen Zhaoxue's ears, it was nothing more than a trivial matter. Is it worth taking a life?

"So just because that person stole the public bank from the gang to help his family outside, was he killed by your gang leader on the spot?"

Ah Qiu nodded, and echoed, "Fortunately, I was standing far away, or I would have been splashed with blood."

Zuzu...Shen Zhaoxue sneered at this, "I've already expected that he is not a good person." So cruel and merciless... Who would know what conspiracy was behind her arrest here.

Ah Qiu waved his hands quickly after hearing this, "It's not like that, it's not like that, in fact, the leader of the gang is not a bad person, and these are all the rules clearly stipulated in black and white in the gang, and everyone has read it before joining the gang. He should not have made such a low-level mistake for that person."

"Aqiu, you don't have to say good things for your gang leader, this kind of person who caresses about human life..." So far, Shen Zhaoxue's impression of the masked man was a little lower.

But Ah Qiu was in a hurry, she had to explain it clearly to Shen Zhaoxue.

"Actually, the leader of the gang is not what you imagined, Madam. Our leader is the youngest leader in the history of the Qiqing Gang. He was handed down by the previous leader, but because of her special status, the three elders in the gang have not been very convinced by her. As long as there is a slight mistake, the three elders will unite to find the fault of the gang leader. In the past few years, the gang leader has been trembling and put aside his soft-heartedness, but she has always distinguished public and private affairs, although we are all afraid of her, But... I still admire her from the bottom of my heart."

Shen Zhaoxue heard an important point from it, "Special status?"

"Yes." Aqiu replied cautiously, "This is a secret that everyone in the gang knows. In fact, our gang leader is..."

"Cough cough." Two coughs came from outside the door, Aqiu was so frightened that he hurriedly silenced, turned around cautiously and bowed, "I've seen the leader."

Shen Zhaoxue simply lay down and pretended not to see this person.

"You go back first." The masked man said.

"Yes, Chief." After speaking, Aqiu disappeared outside the door in a flash.

Shen Zhaoxue pretended to be calm and closed her eyes to ignore her.

"I'm here, so I pretend to be sleeping?" The masked man's tone was filled with a forbearing smile.

"Who said I'm pretending to sleep, I'm going to rest." Shen Zhaoxue said stubbornly.

"Heh..." the masked man chuckled, then moved a chair and sat down in front of her bed, "I have the strength to answer back, it seems that I'm recovering very quickly."

Shen Zhaoxue simply opened her eyes and looked directly at him, "When will you let me go?"

"Then you'll have to wait until your injuries are fully recovered, little princess." The masked man looked at her seriously and said these words.

Shen Zhaoxue felt a little stuffy when she looked at her like this, and murmured to herself, "I see."

The scorching gaze in front of the bed never left, Shen Zhaoxue was so nervous that she didn't dare to look at her, she couldn't help but mutter in her heart, how long will this person want to see her.

At this moment, a hand was raised suddenly, stroking her forehead naturally, Shen Zhaoxue's whole body became stiff, and then a voice sounded above her head, "Take a good rest, I have time See you again."

The heat on the forehead disappeared all of a sudden, the footsteps gradually faded away, and finally stopped abruptly after the sound of closing the door.

Shen Zhaoxue took a deep breath and suddenly opened her eyes.

That night, Shen Zhaoxue began to have nightmares. She dreamed that she was taken back to the torture room, and Shen Zhaoan in front of her was abusing her like a devil. The worse she screamed, the happier Shen Zhaoan was. The more excited.

She was going through all kinds of pain again. Apart from the physical torture, the psychological torture was even worse.

"Ah... ah..." Shen Zhaoxue hissed in pain, layers of sweat emerged from her forehead.

The door was knocked open quickly, and a figure jumped in. The masked man sat down in front of her bed, held her hands tightly, and helped her wipe the sweat off her forehead, comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay!" ..."

It took a while for Shen Zhaoxue's emotions to calm down, gradually regaining her composure, and the masked man wiped her face gently with a wet towel, "Go to sleep, I'm here."

Half asleep and half awake, Shen Zhaoxue fell asleep again, but this time she did not have any more nightmares, her sleeping face was very peaceful, and the masked person's heart finally settled down. It seems that the previous ordeals had caused her a lot of psychological shadow. She promised that she would never let go of the mother and daughter who caused her such misery.

Just standing quietly by her bed like this, the calm moonlight outside the window, the sleeping Shen Zhaoxue's hand tightly holding her little finger, she couldn't help thinking, if only it could be like this all the time, it would be fine.
